Dry Skin

Treating dry skin with essential and carrier oils involves applying it directly to the skin for hydration. Regular use helps to nourish the skin, providing lasting moisture and relief from dryness.

Perform a patch test to check for any adverse reactions, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies.
